People who wish to explore this thorny problem should read the works of Harold Hillman, a foremost critic of electron microscopy methods
Excellent, great to see Rappoport talking about Hillman. I discovered him in 2020 on my virus travels. The folder of Hillman documents is great! Anyone who wants to read a general piece about him can read this short auto-biography he wrote:
Anyone struggling with the idea that viruses could be a misconception should read some of Hillman's writing to see just how little we actually know about living biological cells, and how much is based on layered assumptions derived from woefully incomplete and corrupted data. It's actually pretty scary, when you get into it, how much that is taken for granted as being established fact which is derived this way.
